Now that you mention it, I'm pretty convinced this is the reason they took it down. If you can't dispute the facts, get rid of them, I guess.

I think we're going to see a small minority of juniors who managed to ignore the hype/peer pressure/easy path and actually learned to code have a huge advantage over the others.

On one hand, we're actively destroying society, but on the other, billionaires are getting richer! Why are you mad at us!?

Depends on if their new love provides as much money as their old one, which is probably not likely. I'd rather have had those decades to stash and invest.

The average person has almost no way of making any serious impact on society, especially in this time period. Besides that, the US was founded by people taking "the easy way out" and leaving another country, so it's only fitt

I don't think the vibe shift they're describing has fully taken place yet, but I think the foundations have been laid and it's started. It's probably going to be a while and take further societal changes to fully come in

It is absolutely sane to be angry at people's livelihoods being destroyed and most aspects of life being worsened just so a handful of multi-billionaires that already control society can become even richer.

Frankly, tech deserves its bad reputation in SF (and worldwide, really). One look at the dystopian billboards bragging about trying to replace humans with AI should make any sane human angry at what tech has done. Or the rising rents due to

Why are they forcing unpopular viewpoints on people? We do not need to be teaching creationism or teaching that climate change isn't real (to name a couple examples) just because they're less popular.

> People on the left think conservative political violence is worse. But conservatives don’t see it that way. It doesn't matter if they "see" it that way. The statistics don't change because they don't like them.

Agreed. Even as someone only on the tail end of the millennial generation, the total disappearance of hope in the past 10-15 years (but especially in the last 5) has been palpable. There's a tweet that's been floating around recen

I've ever seen them in the California Bay Area either. I don't go into the office for my current job, though, so maybe there are some tech bros out there wearing them?

I'm really not a fan of them. There's already too much recording going on on a daily basis. I would personally avoid anyone wearing these. They say the mandatory LED activation prevents the issue, but I still don't trust it,

Anyone who's taken enough Ubers and/or has had bad enough luck to have gotten a terrible Uber driver. Pretty much everyone I know, along with myself have had multiple awful Uber driver experiences.

No, the actual evidence would be the investigation and report that says the opposite of what you're claiming. A baseless "this random person said it didn't happen!" claim isn't evidence. Edit: what exactly do you th

This was back around 2019 or so, but you're not wrong at all. Back then Zuckerburg et al at least pretended to be against hate speech. It's so much worse now.

Depends on the reason. I'm saying that banning someone for calling out a Nazi and not banning the Nazi is a bad thing.

I got a week long ban for calling someone out for being a Nazi. The person openly praising Hitler did not get banned at all. At the time I thought it was mere incompetence, but in hindsight, it seems more like intentional malice.
